CanAlaska Uranium Ltd. announced it has mobilized a crew to begin kimberlite indicator mineral (KIM) sampling down-ice of its West Athabasca Diamond Project areas. The Company holds 51,654 hectares (129,135 acres) of claims encompassing over 300 circular magnetic anomalies in the Athabasca Basin of Saskatchewan. The project is located north and northeast of the past-producing Cluff Lake Uranium Mine. The objective of this sampling program is to complement the 2018 DeBeers' till sampling program, which was tightly restricted to eskers inside the claim boundaries. These eskers are relatively short, sinuous and sharp-crested features that sit on top of glacial outwash deposits. As a result, the sampled eskers unlikely eroded the local bedrock or basal tills, and therefore may not have sampled the potential kimberlite material possibly associated with these circular anomalies. This new KIM till sampling program will focus in close proximity to Athabasca Group outcrop locations in order to find and acquire basal till samples that contain material possibly associated with these magnetic anomalies. In 2011, a high-quality regional magnetic and radiometric airborne survey was completed over the Athabasca Basin which resulted in identification of small, round magnetic anomalies that resemble the size and character of anomalies generally associated with kimberlite pipes elsewhere. Based on this observation, the West Athabasca claims were staked in 2015 and later optioned to DeBeers in 2016. DeBeers conducted a high-resolution low-amplitude aeromagnetic survey that defined 695 discrete singular and cluster anomalies like those shown in Figure 2 for the William River Block. Seven of the anomalies were identified as accessible for summer drilling and nine holes were completed in the fall of 2016. DeBeers drill tested the margins of seven magnetic anomalies out of the more than 300 that had been defined as priority. No kimberlite was intersected but three of the holes identified a thin magnetic mud of possible biogenic origin at the base of the till near the bedrock top. Only summer accessible targets were drill tested since a vast majority of the magnetic anomalies exist under lakes or muskeg.
